“Steep climb with large loose rocks and uneven ground, but well worth the climb for the descent. ”

Description

This is a long steep climb with uneven, rutted out terrain, and lots of loose rocks. The upper part of the trail has shrubs along the trail as well as several rocky sections and rutted out areas. The climb is well worth the descent as it has a fast flow with several banking turns ensuring a huge smile at the bottom.
